The Passioun O Sanct Andraa

Inside the image.

A square cover designed as a framed typographic panel. A narrow black outer edge and a fine inner rule enclose a white ground, with a thin strip of white margin around the main design. Inside, five broad horizontal bands are divided by paired red dotted lines. Each band is filled with a dense red-and-black repeating pattern of tiny dots, crosses and lozenges; the pattern changes from band to band, with the lowest area becoming mostly plain white around the credits.

Large black lettering with pale interiors and red shadowing or outlines dominates the upper four bands. The words are arranged in an irregular, tightly stacked block: “the” at the top, “passioun” beneath it, then a single large “o”, followed by “Sanct” and “Andraa”. The letters are ornate and uneven, mixing rounded forms with pointed serifs and decorative swashes. The initial S of “Sanct” has a curling flourish, and the capital A of “Andraa” is embellished with a small blue figure-like flourish extending to the left. Pale blue and red interlaced loops continue to the right of “Sanct”; another pale ornamental loop motif sits to the right of “Andraa”. A small line below the title reads “ane kirk opera”.

At the bottom, on a mostly white ground, two lines of red lettering read “dafydd bullock” and “Jamie reid baxter”. The lettering is irregular and hand-drawn in appearance, smaller than the title but clearly prominent. The palette is restricted to black, white, red and pale blue. The image is flat and graphic, without photographic depth, lighting or shadows; its intricacy comes from the fine patterned bands and the contrasting, oversized lettering.
